Our Ypsilanti Rambler

We are certainly in a chronic state of agitation. We scarcely have recovered from the water works and electric light shock, when along comes those awful sewers, and of course the city fathers welcome them. They always do. But the property owners, rnerciful goodness! what sky-splitting howls and wails. Then too, the motor line wants to run through Doctor John Van Fossen's parlor, and of course Dr. John naturally has some compuncttons against such railroad-cheek. So there's likely to be some lively diacussions and trials by jury and no one knows what else, before the thing is decided. And tbat reminds us that some twenty-four good Episcopalians engaged a special motor run lastSunday morningin order to hear Prof. Sill preach in Ann Arbor.

A keen judge of human nature can teil most as quick as anything that the time for the opening of schools is ing nigh, lor the boarüing nouse ana renting ladies are already getting on the war paint and slowly but surely adoptiqg a sort of you-can't-bull-dozeme-this-timeexpression, which will surprise the innocent and well meanngstudents. It's strange to note how ast that sort of determined never-given expression spreads the moment that real education gets to reveling right smart ia a town. We 'most forgot to mention that Geo. Barnes brought ïome a bride from Detroit last week, surprisedus all, which was very unkind, as we like to find out such matters before hand and find all the fault we can. tfow it's too late of course.
